Yup, I am being stoned to death next week for using a saw with a loose chain:lol:

 

 

 

Hope the appeal comes through

 

 

Forgot to mention he was on a killing spree with it.

 

But a rear handle would have been manslaughter.

Quoted by a trainer last week.

Only require to be deemed "competent" (this was in respect of MEWP training btw)

but 10 layers of ass protecting, umbrella raising, gold plating (with a titanium underlay) hand wringing, beauracy later; voila!

one requires training and certification.

Even if one is certifibly handless/incompetent (leastwise in the LA circles I move in)

I am currently stirring the pot in respect of urban verge grass cutting.

Since we are now so "big" on Workplace Transport H & S, how about we actually comply with the relevant legislation.

Which will make the service we have safely and reasonably efficiently for 30 years, almost unworkable due to the preliminary road closures and coning works.

FFS!

They diddnt have any 'certification' when I first used a saw; caution, an understanding of gravity & common sense was sufficient.

the problem with common sense is that its not that common any more!
